Wall Street adopts cash basis amid margin curb orders
Wall Street prepares to operate on a cash and carry basis as the government imposes 100 percent margin requirements on security transactions for the first time. The Federal Reserve Board ruling, effective Monday, raises margins from 75 to 100 percent. Brokers doubt the move will halt speculation, though it has long been anticipated by financial circles. Steel prices approach 1929 levels, prompting inflation concerns. This marks the third margin boost in a year, following increases to 50 percent in February 1945 and to 75 percent in July. Despite volatility, prices hit year’s highs. In New Orleans, the Colt Exchange passed another mile shoe and entered its 76th year.
